I hate this man more and more with each passing episode. Once upon a time I wanted to make him an innocent board with oceans and beach toys and some lovecore themes for his key, but now??? Fire for you only, Wave. I hope you evaporate underneath the stench of its heat.

It's that time again. The time where I yap about everything Mario... this time regarding the Mario Galaxy Movie and my own personal headcanons!
So... this is a bit of a revamping of an older headcanon that I've had since 2024. As with most headcanons... things have changed. Especially with the introduction of the sequel AND the new additions to the galaxy games. Thus, I thought it'd be fitting to give my girl a bit more depth.
And by that, I do mean angst. Because of course.
Now... fair warning, this DOES have spoilers, so avoid this if you don't want that. But aside from that, TRIGGER WARNINGS!
(TW: Death, planetary death, destruction, existential dread, grief, and hopelessness)
Rosalina was born from stardust, a blessing given unto the universe by the Star Spirits who had long-since begun to look after the planets and galaxies in search of a place to call their own.
In the beginning, the lumas, comets, and even the Star Spirits drifted about in the vast expanse of space. While it was peaceful, they felt it would be remiss if they didn't share the gift of life with the rest of the universe. The lumas were hungry to give life to new galaxies, but had no direction.
For this very reason, Rosalina was born.
She fostered many young Lumas as per her given role. With them by her side, she was able to create many of the planets within the universe. As she was still young, one of the Lumas, Polari, made it his mission to look after her until she drew in her last breath (which could take years as she was born from the universe).
The other Lumas, as her children, were adamantly supportive of this. To them, their lives were unfulfilled if they weren't able to create something new with meaning. Together, they created the Earth and, subsequently, the Mushroom Kingdom, which the Star Spirits immediately claimed as their home.
But that was precisely where the problem lie.
Because Rosalina was so young in her abilities, she wasn't able to foster life on the planets for too long, other than a few short-lived friends. She could attempt, and the Lumas could shapeshift, but… that was about it. As a result, she grew quite lonely, longing for someone to share it all with.
Thus, the universe gave her Peach.
When Peach was born, Rosalina felt an overwhelming sensation of love… so much so, she caused Earth to bloom right at her feet. It was no secret that she held great powers that had yet to be awakened… but such a thing had been done by the sheer amount of love she held for her own sister.
From that day forward, she and Peach created many planets filled with life and light. They created many things they imagined on the spot alongside the Lumas, giving them their own land and name:
Honeyhive Galaxy
Good Egg Galaxy
Gusty Garden Galaxy
Each of them brought forth the many species seen, including the bees and yoshis. Whatever else was a mistake or simply not pretty enough was simply thrown to an abandoned planet the sisters dubbed Space Junk Galaxy.
They even managed to make a home for themself on Earth, complete with a mother, father, and brother. The rest of the planet soon filled with many people, too, so they always had friends by their side, living their lives peacefully. Though they carried the powers of the universe in their veins, they still wanted to feel the love of their guardians day and night, which the Star Spirits were more than happy to allow, so long as Polari kept an eye on them.
They still tended to the Lumas just as they had always done, though they still remained on Earth.
And for a while... it was peaceful.
One day, a Luma who had since lost its way from its mother came to Rosalina. Being the kind-hearted girl she was, she agreed to help and quickly constructed the starship and set sail across the galaxy to find her, with the help of their other Luma friends, of course.
However, this time, she didn't bring Peach.
At the time, Peach had said she wanted to stay home, which Rosalina allowed, wanting her to remain comfortable where she lived. And thus, the two were separated for a time.
Rosalina didn't manage to find the Luma's mother, but she found plenty of other stray Lumas, all without a home or family to their name. As such, she made it her mission to take them all with her.
But during her travels, she was suddenly met by Polari, who, in a panic, had flown across the galaxies to find her... only to deliver that disaster had struck Earth.
See… the Space Junk Galaxy had grown to become more than a trash pile. Creatures they deemed too evil and too menacing had flourished there, angered by their placement. Weeds, disease, and death all thrived… all of it hungry for the life teeming throughout the other galaxies. However, the creatures knew it would be unwise to attack when the sisters were still present.
So when one had left… they took that chance.
Many great beasts came to steal, large and small. Together, they destroyed thousands of structures, ending the lives of many… but they were still not satisfied in the least. See… the most powerful artifact someone from the universe can have is their stardust. With their ability to create worlds by the power of the Lumas, it can bring beauty and life… but in the wrong hands, it can lead to disaster.
And that was precisely what they sought.
As quickly as she could, Rosalina returned home... onto to find it ravaged, plagued with destruction and flame. However, even if she couldn't protect her home, she still made it her mission to protect her sister.
Even if it meant leaving this universe forever.
The two had made a warp pipe in the event something should happen to them, merely as a precaution. The Star Spirits had warned them to do so, which they had taken heed, though they never imagined they would need to utilize it.
But that day... they had to.
By some miracle, Peach had managed to avoid death, much to Rosalina's relief. However, their lives were in danger, so it was imminent that they abandon Earth at all costs.
Unfortunately, that never happened.
In their haste to escape, the creatures discovered them. They pursued them relentlessly, their claws hungry to feast and ravage. Still, Rosalina did all she could to protect her sister. She fought hard, even as it took a toll on her body...
But it would all be in vain.
The creatures soon took hold of the Earth, tearing into it until they reached its core, their power overwhelming the good the two sisters had brought.
And ultimately... it proved to be too much.
|In the aftermath, there lay nothing but rubble and stardust. Everything the sisters had made on Earth was destroyed, down to the last atom.
… except Rosalina.
Somehow, she managed to survive, though she had lost her sight from the blinding light. She was horribly injured, though she managed to heal herself when the Lumas took her in.
She remained comatose for a time… but when she awakened, it became clear to all that she realized what had happened.
Even without her eyes… she knew what happened.
Everything she had ever built… was gone.
… and so, too, was her sister…
In sleep, she could hear the spirits of her loved ones speaking to her to say her final goodbyes as their bodies turned to stardust. It was then that Rosalina realized that she would never see her family… or even her home again.
Overcome with grief… Rosalina drowned in despair, despite all the kind words of the Lumas...
... how could she ever go on without her sister...?
She remained grief-stricken by her loss for days, her cries emanating throughout the galaxies... until she was met by the last few stars she expected to meet.
The Star Spirits!
Upon hearing her cries, they returned to the sight of their ruined world, having escaped it just as disaster struck. They were the ones to send Polari to find her as they, too, searched... needless to say, they were relieved she was alive, but devastated by the loss.
But seeing the grief within her and the kindness she showed the young stars… they empathized. For years, they were the guardians of the universe and its many galaxies… so they, too, mourned the loss of their beloved people. They had kept everyone safe for years by giving life to Rosalina and Peach… so seeing the planet die prematurely hurt worse than anything. Their greatest wish was to create something that brought joy… so they, too, felt her pain.
However, they acknowledged she had been gone out of the kindness of her heart, though she pleaded for them not to forgive her, they refused.
They knew she had done what she could…
This would all simply be another part of the cycle, in due time.
It was then they initiated the first of the cycles of the universe. They explained that due to the extensive damage, things would never remain the same. Where good lay, evil would also lurk. Greyness would be her greatest ally and enemy… but it was a cost she was willing to take.
So long as she got Peach back.
They suggested giving her power, not to stop the evil, but at the very least, relieve its effects. They never pressured her to accept their offer, instead allowing her to gather the strength needed in due time… which she eventually did. When that fateful day arrived, she took the stand to ensure the cosmos and the universe of the would be safe from harm…
For years, she witnessed one disaster after another occur… each lessening with every new birth of the planet. Sadly, every time, it all seemed to end in disaster. Lives grew short, will grew lax, and the world grew ever more unstable.
As the years passed, Rosalina fell into a cycle of hopelessness, accepting that maybe they were all doomed to just end it all like that… perhaps she would never meet her sister again.
But just to be safe… when a new planet was born, she did something as a last resort.
She drew from her own powers.
She took part of her stardust, giving one final wish… just to be safe.
"Send seven children, blessed by stardust, to protect my Peach… when the time comes… awaken her power, as well as theirs. Please… bring her back to me…"
… and that time, it worked!
It took many years… but Rosalina found her Peach.
She wasn't the same sister she had grown up with, but that mattered little… she found her!
At first, she remained skeptical, until she saw her: the same face, same innocence, and same outlook on life… just as she had been many cycles before. There had been other princesses in the past like her, but none had the same imbued strength as she did. She held a connection like Rosalina had never seen before… and that was enough reason to convince her that, yes… that was her Peach.
For that reason, she sent the Star Spirits to grant the young Peach powers to protect her people, the toads, although they, too, remained skeptical.
And thus, Peach's powers were born.
She had the power to heal others, sick and injured. She could conjure protections and summon spells. She could bring back life (though at a great cost).
Rosalina knew Peach had the power to do great things once her full power was realized, just like her own. But being so young, her time for that was far in the future… or at least until the other Star Children found their way to her.
It was through this discovery that she realized the planet still had a new hope of survival. Unlike the others before… perhaps this one stood at least a modicum of a chance.
anti objectum is most people not providing any kinda warning when media (specifically videos and movies in my experience) show people destroying objects/broken objects :(
i see a lot of media where people get angry or something and smash their laptops or just belongings in general, and it feels like watching gore almost, especially with one of my more severe triggers being angry tantrums or meltdowns of the like (though thats really besides the point i suppose). its sad because a lot of the time you dont even really expect it at all, and all of a sudden youre forced to see something like that. i get why people dont typically provide warnings for this kind of thing but its still sad/disappointing to see
This is anti-objectum and I think can fall under ableism.
I think the bare minimum they could have is a loud sound warning, next best being a destruction of property one. Even outside of objectum experiences, seeing others destroying things can be very triggering to those with trauma, sensitivity to loud noises, etc. so I think they're necessary no matter what in the case of objects being smashed out of nowhere.
Also with the general topic of trigger warnings, a lot of people get the misconception when one asks for a trigger warning, that they are actively seeking out (often clearly) triggering content in order to ask for warnings, when often the opposite is the case (not directed at anyone, just a general statement). - of course, I understand there are millions of potential triggers that one can forget to warn about, so sometimes make sure you get the big idea first (ex: video that may have jumpscares having a loud sound warning).
Superhero couldn't believe what they were seeing. They had arrived fully expecting an all out fight to be threatening the city. They had expected Sidekick to struggle with keeping the villains at bay until Superhero arrived.
They could not have been more wrong.
One crumbled building still burnt nearby. Trees had been broken and flattened around an epicenter of what had likely been a massive explosion. The villains had been defeated thoroughly. Sidekick stood in the center, a massive grin on their face.
"Superhero!" They called excitedly. "I did good, right?"
Superhero looked around the destruction. No civilian casualties. Only buildings destroyed. Those could be rebuilt. "Yeah, you did great," Superhero said, trying to ignore the panic that was filling them. Sidekick was still coming into their power, they were still weak. And they had leveled a city block in under fifteen minutes. What were they going to grow into?
For WoW's birthday whump, Day 13: "They took them…"
CW for kidnapping, destruction of property (it doesn't happen on-camera but still there), and general fear and panic.
___________________________
Caretaker’s hand snaked towards their pocket. Their fingers curled around the gift hidden inside. It was a silly thing to worry about. Just a piece of jewelry, for Whumpee’s birthday. That was all. They didn’t need to be this nervous about giving it to her. It wasn’t like they were proposing, so there was nothing to worry about.
“Whumpee? Are you home?” Caretaker gently knocked on Whumpee’s door. “I, uh, I know it’s late, but I wanted... to...”
They stopped short. They’d barely even touched the door, and it had creaked open.
Whumpee never kept her door unlocked.
“Whumpee?” Caretaker’s voice shook as they called again. They pushed the door open a little further. “I’m really not trying to intrude, I promise, but I... I wanted to...”
They took a careful, nervous step inside. And their shoe connected with something on the ground. Whatever they had kicked rolled a bit, stopping only when it clattered against something else. Caretaker’s eyes widened.
They’d just kicked a broken chair leg.
“What the hell...?” Caretaker murmured.
They started calling Whumpee’s name again. But the word caught, dying in their throat.
The room was in shambles.
Cold fear coursed straight through Caretaker’s veins. They tossed the door fully open, using so much force that it bounced against the wall. And they surged inside.
Broken furniture and shattered belongings littered the floor, crunching under their feet. And there was glass, tiny shards of it, all stemming from the broken window. Caretaker didn’t want to think about the other signs of a struggle they saw.
They just kept searching. Kept calling out, shouting Whumpee’s name. They had to find them. No matter how much they dreaded the state Whumpee would be in when they did.
But there was nothing. No sign of her. Only rubble.
Whumpee was never sure when their shouts turned into desperate screams. But it was enough to attract the neighbors. Others rushed inside, hands reaching out to Caretaker, voices overlapping, demanding to know what had happened.
Caretaker only had one answer. “I can’t find her, she’s... she’s not... she’s gone. They took her.”
imagine its 1992. you got tickets to see Guns N Roses and Metallica live. but Metallica's set list is cut short because James Hetfield was severely injured and/or Guns n Roses doesn't show up to the concert because Axl Rose was having vocal issues. your response to this: START A RIOT. BURN SHIT. FLIP CARS. BEAT UP PEOPLE WHO ARE UPSET ABOUT THE SAME THING AS YOU. FIGHT COPS. CAUSE 500,000$ WORTH OF DAMAGE. GET GUNS N ROSES BANNED FROM THE VENUE. possibly get ARRESTED. all because your concert was cut short.
